A Trip to Ohio.-Mr. j. Glenn McCOmas, of
the 18th district who lately returned from visit
to the State of Ohio writes US as follows OF what
he saw: 81 had q very pleasant time during my
trip, although l encountered much bad weather
and mud. I was as far west as New Athens,
Harrison county, where my daughter, Mrs. Day,
7 roh haQu
farming country, but spent the greater portion
of my time in Belmont county, near Wheeling,
where my brother has lived for many years. He
has been suffering from cancer for some time, but
the physicians think that they can cure him. L
went to Wheeling several times and was much IN
terested in the extensive nail and glass works of
that city. also saw the creMatory, in which all
the city garbage, dead animals, &C., are burned
and the people think it great thing. This is in
deed wonderful city, full of business and enter
prise. with four great railroads running into 1t,
the immense bridges of the B. 4 o., which span
the Ohio river, &c. l went to Ohio thirty-six
years ago and at that time travelled by stage from
Cumberland to Wheeling, the latter then being
very small place, and the only means of crossing
the river was by ferry boat 1.-TWO of which were
then used) to Bellaire. Both of these towns were
then insignificant places, with not more than three
or four houses in each. The changes that have
taken place since then are enough to startie one
and are living evidences Of what enterprise and
money can accomplish. Bellaire, Bridgeport and
Martinsville extend distance of about five miles
on the opposite side of the river from Wheeling,
and are almost like one city. Railroads appear
to be running in all directions, and there is bust
ness activity and hustle on every hand. 1t is
most interesting trip to take the cars at Bridge
port and go up West Wheeling Creek as far as
Fair Point, distance Of perhaps y miles through
a valley not over half mile wide. On either side
are great mountains of coal, from which immense
quantities are constantly being mined and ship
ped. CHANGING up at the mountains you will see
holes, at the mouths of wheE are great elevators.
The coal is brought out from the mines in small
cars, from which it is shot into an elevator, which
screens it and drops it into the cars which are
standing below, ready to carry it off in all direc-
tions. The sight is most interesting one to
those not familiar with it, and a visit will well
repay any one."
